Inter captain Samir Handanovic was the Nerazzurri’s best performing player in last night’s goalless draw at Juventus, according to a report in the Italian media.
Handanovic received widespread criticism after last week’s Coppa Italia semi-final first leg for his role in the Bianconeri’s winning goal, causing confusion for teammate Alessandro Bastoni and allowing Cristiano Ronaldo to fire into an empty net to make it 2-1.
Gazzetta dello Sport’s print edition today, however, argued that the Slovenian redeemed himself at the Allianz Stadium with a couple of strong saves on Cristiano Ronaldo.
Handanovic was given a rating by 7/10 by the Milanese publication, the highest afforded to any Inter player as Antonio Conte’s side went out of the tournament 2-1 on aggregate.
Stefan de Vrij, Achraf Hakimi and Nicolo Barella were deemed to be Inter’s joint-second best performers with the trio all being given rating of 6.5/10.
Milan Skriniar, Alessandro Bastoni, Marcelo Brozovic and Aleksandar Kolarov’s performances were all meanwhile judged as sufficient with the quartet all being rated 6/10.
Lautaro Martinez, Ivan Perisic and Stefano Sensi were rated 5.5/10, while the worst performances in Turin came from Romelu Lukaku, Christian Eriksen and Matteo Darmian with 5/10.
Conte was given a rating of 6/10 for how he coached.
